4 GOOD MAN GoNE.-The people of
North Carolina will read with regret the
announcement of the death of that good
and useful man and honored citizen,
Rev. Calvin H. Wiley, D. D., which oc-
cured at his residence in Winston, on
Monday night last. He had beena suffer
er for some time from liver complaint
which recently aggravated by a severe
cold caused his death. His death was
rather unexpected, as he had been i'm
proving and appeared to be resting COM
fortably, until about ii o'clock Monday
night when a sudden change took place,
and he rapidly sank until l o'clock
when his eyes closed in the long sleep,
and the end came to a life devoted to
the good Of his fellow men. He was a
native Of Guilford county and aged, we
think, about 20 years.

THE INDIGNATION MEETING.

The Indignation meeting held in
Dublin last Tuesday night was an i'm
mense affair. All the speeches were of
a nature that could leave no doubt in
the mind tf anybody that come what
might the Irish National League is pre-
pared to fight the Tory Government to
the bitter end. Among the English
members of the House Of Commons
who indorsed the principles of the
League by their presence and active
participation in the proceedings We're
Jacob Bright, member for Manchester;
Richard B. Haldore, member for Hud-
dington Henry Pelton Cabb, member
for Rugby; Charles Fenwick, member
for Wansaeck. and Angus Sutherland,
member for Sutherlandshire, and they,
with others equally prominent in Eng
iisl politics, freely expressed their con-
demnation Of the Government action
in proclaiming the Irish National
League.

THE EXPOSITION OPENING G..

The opening Of the MINNEAPOLIS Ex-
position next Monday will not be the
least important event in the history of
Minneapolis. People who visit the
building that day will be surprised no
matter what idea they have formed of
the immensity Of this great show. 1t is
due to those who have had charge of
the arrangements to state that nothing
which would enhance its success has
been left undone. It was admitted by
everybody that last years Exposition
was a grand success, but we have no
hesitation in saying that the one Of this
year will be greater success if merit is
taken into consideration. It cannot
fail to prove to visitors the wonderful
resources and development OF the
Northwest.

THE MANITOBA EMBROGLIO.

The Provincial rights troubles in
Manitoba seems to be as far away as
ever from satisfactory settlement.
Evidently the Dominion Government
made a great mistake in their man
when they attempted to coerce John
NorQ1lny, tie Manitoba premier into
relinquishing his birthright in order
that the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany should run matters just as it had
a mind to in the Canadian Northwest.
NorquaY is an English half breed--not
a Scotch ha]f-breed, as some Of QUE city
papers aver-is a man Of iron nerve,
and one that is not likely to be easily
intimidated into doing anything against
his will. In the past he has been ac
cused of bartering away the prairie
PROVINCES rights, but people who know
something about the matter do say that
in all his dealings with the Dominion
Government the half-breed Premier got
pretty near his right weight. One thing
Is certain, however, that if the Cana
dian Pacific is permitted to maintain
monopoly of the carrying trade Of the
Canadian Northwest, there will not be
much chance for the development of
Manitoba, and more particularly will
the city OF Winnipeg be injured. Now
that Norquay has got the entire prov
ince at bis elbow he will show that he
has got the backbone to contest point
with even the great Sir John A. Mac
donald himself. The provincial pre-
mier possesses the combined craftiness
of The Norsh-American II Indian and the
proverbial bulldog propensities Of the
English race. and now that he has
started in he is liable to build couple
OF railroads every season just for the
fun OF The thing. If Sir John a. Mac
donald wants to get Norquay off the
warpath he will have to return again to
his old policy Of substituting the crafty

BRITIsH JUsTIOE 4

The much-yauLted British ustice,
from all accounts is just as much Of a
myth to day as it was one hundred
years ago, but yet we find people who
talk as if England was the only country
in the world that enjoyed an incorrupt-
ible admins tration of justice. The
following cirmstance, taken from the
daily papers, will give one some idea of
the way things are managed in British
courts of justice. Following the wake
of the so-called Cass case comes the re-
port of most heartless case Of cruelty
to six-year old child, now being in
vestigated by the Home Secretary. If
the current version be correct, the case
is one that cannot fail of melting the
utmost Indignation. A boy six years
of age. living at llkington, was accused
Of having stolen watch. The boy
said be had found the watch and his
mother promptly restored it to it's
owner. In view Of these facts the boy
might well have been given the benefit
Of the doubt, bat the owner complained,
and warrant was sworn out which the
police executed in the middle of the
night The little fellow was dragged
out of bed between one and two clock
in the morning, and locked up till the
day time, when the magistrate ordered
him to be birched. This punishment
was inflicted with such severity that the
tender flesh of the child was cut in six
places, some of the cuts reaching round
from the back to the stomach. Such
revolving cruelty has not unnaturally
given rise to widespread Indignation.
In addition to the heartlessness of the
beating imposed upon the poor little
creature, there is no doubt that the
locking up Of q child Of such tender
years in the middle Of the night might
readily have produced commissions,
have driven away sanity, OF worse still
have caused death from fright The
probable innocence of the little victim
iptensiies the barbarity of it's treat
ment. How can the friends of Ireland
any longer express surprise at British
cruelty, when inhnmanity of this kind
is permitted in the very heart Of the
Empire which p1ates SO loudly of its
civilization and Christian vir-
TUES?

THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA.

In none Of Queen Victoria's colonial
possessions are there so many Irishmen
;ss in Australia. In an interview with Sir
Patrick Jennings, one of the most prom
iDent statesmen. Of Australia, a. re
porter of the Pail Mall Gazette elected
the following interesting information
Roughly speaking, almost one-third
OF the population Of Australia are Of
Irish birth 4; SO you will see that al
though the Irish are so numerous q
great part of the public opinion OF Aus
tralia in favor of Home Rule must be
independent of Irish opinion. The
Irish population was much recruited by
the transportation OF prisoners tried for
political offenses during the Irish re-
bel]lon. Of course they were regarded
as exiles rather than convicEs. Irish
feeling in Australia is deeply moved by
what occurs in Ireland. The recent
evictions greatly excited it, and the
state of things which involves the pres
ence OF large bodies Of police and mill
tary to enforce evictions is regarded in
Australia as scandal to Europe and
the world. But hitherto the Irish in
Australia have been citizens Of the Brit
ish Empire first and Irishmen second.
AS to the f,lture--if the present state of
things is not put an end to--you must re-
member that with the progress of time
the Irish-born inhabitants Of the colo
MES become merged in the ordinary
population but undoubtedly colonists
regard the discomfort OF Ireland and OF
Irishmen throughout the world as a
weak element in the empire. The three
main springs of thought in Australia
respecting the Irish question, are, first,
sympathy with the grievances Of Ire
land second, regard for the true in
tegrity of the empire third. the desire
to conciliate the sentiment of Irishmen,
among whom are some of the most
loyal and peaceful citizens"

The Church Progress tenders the
following advice, which should be prac-
tised by all true Catholics: "Catholic
parents are guilty of the most culpable
negligence in not practising home and
family deyotions and thus teaching
their children practical religion. The
beautiful custom of family prayers
practised in Catholic countries, should
be introduced by parents who value the
priceless gifts Of religion. Children are
very prone to neglect their morning and
night prayers and will neglect them,
unless parents watch and see that they
are not forgotten. The best way then,

WHO PAYS FOR THE WHISTLE /?

No doubt many an Englishman who
a few weeks ago was throwing his hat
high up in the air and shouting, ''Long
Live Queen Victoria,'' did not for q
moment imagine that he would be
called upon before the jubilee year ex-
pired to pay dear for the privilege.
Such, however, is the case. The ques'
tion has lately been before the British
Parliament to allow the expenses con-
tracted to be dragged from the pockets
Of the people by taxation. The subject
will, OF course, draw forth much de-
bate, as the members Of Parliament are
now aware that their constituents are
enlightened enough to understand that
Victoria is in ''easy circumstances"
and able to pay the expenses of her jul
bilee without calling Oh the people to
contribute. From her private estates
alone she derives several million dollars
annually, all Of which she hords with
the avariciousness of miser. Besides
her private fortune Parliament and
people contribute S6,OO0,O0O q year to
sustain the palaces reserved for the ex-
elusive use of the Queen and her fam
lily; and nearly an equal amount to sus-
tain the royal pleasure grounds; the
Queens Guards cost $2.500, 600, and the
royal yachts 81 100000, a total annual
expenditure of 5000 900 or SO, for the
protection and pleasure Of the royal
family. In addition to this the Queen
is allowed $3.50, 600 or $2,s00,000 for her
annual expenses least this was the
amnount in 1886. She has privy purse
of SEC, GOO which is for her pin money;
